What People Are Saying About Big Cheese Pizza
Featured Review

In Short – This hangout near the University of Miami is a favorite of students and local families, who appreciate the casual atmosphere and Italian-American cuisine. Decor is limited to sports memorabilia, including pictures of the Miami Heat dancers and signed football helmets. The menu features a wide array of pizza, pastas, subs and salads, plus crowd-pleasers like fried calamari and buffalo wings. Pizzas are loaded with fresh ingredients, including Wisconsin cheese and Cali-grown tomatoes.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Portions here are made to feed at least two, so if you're vying for dinner and dessert, order one entree to share or expect to take some to go.
- Save Money:
- Print out coupons at the pizzeria's BigCheeseMiami.com website.
- The Extras:
- An official University of Miami sponsor since 1991, walk through the dining room and you'll find roughly 200 pieces of sports-related memorabilia.
- Look Good:
- If you want to turn heads at your next party, order a six-foot sub. The mammoth heroes need to be ordered two days in advance and will set you back $99 each. Don't worry about sizing up your trunk space. Party Platter deliveries are available to anywhere in southern Miami-Dade county.

Over-rated dump

I have had pizza there several times, and it is always soggy on the bottom and the crust is toasted or burnt. I guess that is because they are fast-baking it to get more pies in and out of the oven. It is not that cheap, especially considering that Papa John or Dominos is better at half the price!!
- Pros: Near US 1
- Cons: Expensive Soggy Pizza

Cannot wait until you come to FL City
by christmasangel225 at Citysearch
I live in Homestead and we travel at least once a week to eat our favorite is the mushroons and chicken over pasta. loaded with mushrooms and a whole chicken breast my husband and I sometime order 1/2 meal or buy a whole and share it is enough for both of us to eat. Now the Bread is to die for but don't kiss anyone after you eat it. The garlic is wonderful and powerful. I just wish there were 10 stars because that is what I would give it. Now we see that one is coming to FL City and everytime we go to walMart he will say lets eat at the Big Cheese. Just to get me excited and it isn't open yet but you can be asured that the day it opens I will be waiting in line. I have been going there for over 12 years and we and my whole family love it. And to you that has a negitive comment do you work for another Pizza place because I cannot believe no one wouldn't like the Big Cheese. Keep up the good work.
- Pros: The Best pasta in Town
- Cons: I eat to much bread LOL

Best Pizza in Town
by isabellopez at Citysearch
Love "THE BIG CHEESE" had not been there until recently, when my friend dragged me there, I thought it was a loud kiddie place. Much to my surprise, I had a great time with a nice college crowd and pizza junkies like myself. Food was exceptional. Great menu, pizza is always a la carte with large portions to share (for all you girls). For a sports junkie like myself, the walls are a history of not only UM sports, but all the miami sports stars. Definately a fun place to hang out with friends and family.
- Pros: Great place for casual dining with sports fans, Food, Service
- Cons: Parking is a little limited.

by mtala001 at Citysearch
Definetly one of my favorite pizza hangouts. Food inexpensive and definetly great. The Pizza is really good and the fettuccini alfredo is real good too. Great place to go with family or with friends. Especially good whenever UM is playing.
